A Ph.D. offers the opportunity to carry out research at the forefront of knowledge, and advance our understanding of the universe. We offer PhDs in both experimental and theoretical particle physics, researching here at UCL and at facilities across the globe.
UCL is an exciting and vibrant place to work and study. In High Energy Physics we host over 30 PhD students and each year we welcome several more.
A list of previous Ph.D. thesis can be found from UCL Discovery, for example this query returns all theses from Physics & Astronomy (HEP and other topics).
